zout ijsje

The island of Santorini has recently officially received a “Protected Designation of Origin” for its famed fava bean from the EU, which is now designated as “fava Santorinis”.
The fava bean has been growing on the volcanic island for more than 3,500 years, according to historical sources, and the local housewives have developed a plethora of ways for cooking it.
The most recent addition to Santorini’s fava recipes is fava ice-cream. This is an ice-cream like no other, as it is not sweet but salty, and as such is not served as a desert but as an appetizer. And, naturally, it can be found only in Santorini.
Fava ice-cream, created about a month ago by a local restaurateur who wanted to come up with something “extreme” to show the prospects of this local staple product, will be the showcase item of a culinary event to be held on the island this weekend, titled “From old woman’s fava to fava ice-cream” featuring the numerous traditional and imaginative recipes the locals have devised.
“Old woman’s fava” (fava tis grias) is one of the oldest recipes passed down through tradition, and is a winter recipe that also used lard from the locally bred pits and tomato paste made from the local small-size tomatoes. Local fava recipes include meatless ‘fava meatballs’, fava soup, fava porridge, fava with rice and fava omelettes, to more modern dishes such as fava quiches and fava crepes, and a variety of meat and fish dishes topped with a creamy fava sauce.

Lijkt me erg vreemd, een zout smakend ijsje. Vorig jaar heb ik ook al iets vreemds gegeten: ijs met palingsmaak en "bierijs". Eigenlijk was het best lekker maar het is erg vreemd als je een ijsje ziet en iets anders proeft.
Misschien een kwestie van wennen?
Ben wel zo nieuwsgierig dat ik het altijd wil proeven voordat ik een oordeel vel.
Kali orexi allemaal.
